Just a note but Obama is raising his kids quite well, and is an active father. McCain married a model, adopted her two kids, had another kid with her, had affairs, got a divorce, married the heiress to a beer fortune (she demanded a pre-nuptial agreement and they now file separate tax...

It's not nice to call the majority of the country "bozos." The real question seems to be whether the Republicans will hold together as a party.

What information? You gave us an article about a petition which any nut can sign online.

Nobody's mad at you, we just think you guys as a group are completely and utterly wrong and detached, you know, like believing uncited things as if science hasn't progressed since 1924. So do you guys believe in the Keeling curve, or is that just some liberal dogma?

That's some fine 'riting you be quotin' dere.

Nope, I'm saying that the Republicans are a party of double standards and that affairs are none of our business. (Unless, of course, the affair-ee has been prattling on for years that he's from the party of moral superiority and moral values and gets caught soliciting gay sex. Then it's...

Clearly men who have affairs are unfit to be leaders of the nation. (*cough*) Also, anyone who's born outside of the country. We don't need no damn furreigners... So anyone else have reasons to reject the Republicans and McCain?

Yeah, all 1.2 billion Muslims are exactly like that.

Well there's certainly an undertone in this McCain ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDTJDv4hevU It's interesting though that Obama didn't even bring up race, the Republicans screamed "race card! race card!" after running this ad.

As another example, just yesterday McCain said that he's proud that he's fought for Martin Luther King day, which he actually didn't. In fact, he supported rescinding MLK day. He really doesn't remember what he supported. * McCain Supported Gov. Evan Mecham’s Decision In 1987 To...

Well that's a strange comment given that he's been more consistent than McCain. For example, when McCain was asked about his position on prescriptions for viagra versus birth control he had no idea what his position was. He was simply asked whether he felt this was unfair, and couldn't...

Speaking as someone who shielded my income through a corporation, you're absolutely wrong. One year I paid 19%, and I could have paid less if I had structured things differently.

If he was white, maybe. But the guy isn't white. There's going to be a voting penalty there as some just won't vote for a black guy.

Say anything, huh? McCain's 61 flip flops: http://www.alternet.org/election08/90956/?page=entire Republicans: Making People Crap Their Pants In Fear Since 1982

I doubt he said exactly that, but the war's gotta be paid for, so yes, taxes are going to go up -- and by more than they would have if the Republicans hadn't been giving out the fake tax rebates because now interest on the debt has to be paid. All that Iraqi "freedom" ain't free.

Hey, fun fact -- it appears that malnourishment is a bigger problem in US health care than it was in this big, big story about UK health care. "Poverty and lack of food are the primary reasons why malnutrition occurs in the United States. Ten percent of all members of low income households...

Have you ever noticed that each election Republican followers are convinced that the Democrat doesn't just have a difference of opinion, but is outright dishonest? He's already appointed Jason Furman as his economic policy advisor -- here's a bit about Furman: "He is a Visiting Scholar at...

I have to agree. First lesson for the few remaining Republicans: infinite tax cuts are not possible, bills come due. Second lesson, it's important to have a president who knows where countries are, what borders on what, what the difference is between sectarian groups, how to use a computer...

I'm voting Republican because given a choice between a president who can use a computer and one who has stated publicly "I am an illiterate that has to rely on my wife for all of the assistance that I can get" -- it makes sense to me to choose the guy who can't. Don't take a risk, choose the...

Max, have you read any of Ralph Vince's work on portfolio allocation? It's not easy reading, but it's very interesting and establishes a strong mathematical foundation for risk assessment, correlation, profitability and of course allocation.
